National Geographic Channel is set to air its first-ever late-night series, “Star Talk,” which will be hosted by renowned physicist and “Cosmos” presenter Neil deGrasse Tyson.
The science network also announced two other shows from Wednesday’s Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena, “Dino Autopsy” and “History of the World.”
“Star Talk,” based on Tyson’s popular podcast of the same name, will attempt to bridge the gap between pop culture and science. “Dino Autopsy,” as the title suggests, will take a paleontologists approach to dinosaur bones. “History of the World,” meanwhile, will be a docu-comedy series from the makers of “King of the Hill.”
